Find the area of the circle whose equation is given as x2+y24x+8y+11=0

A.

3π

B.

6π

C.

9π

D.

12π

Correct answer is C

Equation of a circle: (xa)2+(yb)2=r2

Given that x2+y24x+8y+11=0

Expanding the equation of a circle, we have: x22ax+a2+y22by+b2=r2

Comparing this expansion with the given equation, we have

2a=4a=2

2b=8b=4

r2a2b2=11r2=11+22+42=9

r=3

Area=πr2=π×32

= 9π

Two vectors m and n are defined by m=3i+4j and n=2ij. Find the angle between m and n.

A.

97.9°

B.

79.7°

C.

63.4°

D.

36.4°

Correct answer is B

m.n=|m||n|cosθ

(3i+4j).(2ij)=64=2

2=|(3i+4j)||(2ij)|cosθ

|3i+4j|=32+42=25=5

|2ij|=22+(1)2=5

2=5(5)(cosθ)

cosθ=255=0.085 

θ=cos10.1788=79.7°

Given that log2y12=log5125, find the value of y

A.

16

B.

25

C.

36

D.

64

Correct answer is D

log2y12=log5125

log2y12=log553=3log55=3

log2y12=3y12=23=8

y=82=64

The tangent to the curve y=4x3+kx26x+4 at the point P(1, m) is parallel to the x- axis, where k and m are constants. Determine the coordinates of P.

A.

(1, 2)

B.

(1, 1)

C.

(1, -1)

D.

(1, -2)

Correct answer is C

y=4x3+kx26x+4

dydx=12x2+2kx6

At P(1, m)

dydx=12+2k6=0 (parallel to the x- axis)

6+2k=0k=3

\(P(1, m) \implies m = 4(1^{3}) - 3(1^{2}) - 6(1) + 4)

= -1

P = (1, -1)

The tangent to the curve y=4x3+kx26x+4 at the point P(1, m) is parallel to the x- axis, where k and m are constants. Find the value of k

A.

3

B.

2

C.

-3

D.

-2

Correct answer is C

y=4x3+kx26x+4

dydx=12x2+2kx6

At P(1, m)

dydx=12+2k6=0 (parallel to the x- axis)

6+2k=0k=3
